The answer

For the three full sisters, two-thirds of the inheritance, based on the Almighty's saying: (But if there are two [sisters], they shall have two-thirds of what he left). As for the half-siblings, if they are uterine brothers (brothers from the mother's side), their share is one-third, which they divide equally between male and female, based on the Almighty's saying: (And if they are more than that, they share in the third). And if they are paternal brothers (brothers from the father's side), they are considered 'Asabah (residuary heirs), and they take what remains after the share of the full sisters (which is one-third in this case), and they divide it among themselves, with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: (And if they are brothers, men and women, the male shall have the share of two females).
